Relive the Original Final Fantasy, Now Available on Google Play for $7

If you have been living under a rock and are not aware of Square Enix’s game juggernaut that is the Final Fantasy series, let me tell you that they are on their thirteenth chapter of the series right now. The games have a huge following and the original few iterations of the series have an even more dedicated group of fans. If you’ve been itching to replay the original Final Fantasy, today is your day.

The original game, with a graphics overhaul, is now available in the Play Store for $6.99. You get to play the same game that was introduced back in 1987 and embark on a “quest to restore the crystals to their former luster.” Compared to Final Fantasy III on the Play Store which is $15.99, this looks like a bargain. Pick it up if you are feeling nostalgic.

Actually they’re on 14. Unfortunately they butchered xiv so bad it may as well NOT count, but it exists.

I bought it, and seeing as i own all of the Final Fantasys through X-2 (x-2 not my favorite) including the super famicom copies of 4 5 and 6 i had to buy this. its an excellent version with updated graphics and no “slow walking” shich on the nintendo was fine but since emulators made it so we can fast walk i am glad to see translated into the android version.

as for battery life if you get into the game and have time to play it will drain it, but being a veteran with this game i beat the first castle and did the prologue with it only taking 5%. but i do have the luxury of extended life and 2 other batteries because of my orig and the stand alone charger.if games like these continue releasing mobile gaming might become something ill invest more than a couple dollars on. oh and asphalt 7 was a great buy at .99c. i beat 6 after i picked it up during the big sale. still need to devote some time to shadow gun and dead trigger.

I hate to say it, but they are kind of pushing it with the pricing when roms of the original game are freely available, not just pirated apks. I’m not condoning piracy here, but why again is this worth 2-7 times as much as most other games?

Otto Dieffenbach

i say the price is worth it for the quality.

I see, so you’d rather steal than support games being developed for Android. That’s great.

JagoX

I’d rather not pay $7 for a *25 YEAR OLD GAME*. *ANY* piece of software that is excessively overpriced is going to push anyone to alternate options.

RampageDeluxe

You’re not entitled to steal just because you think something is over priced. You’re part of the reason that developers stay away from Android. Why don’t you just go without instead of stealing.

JagoX

Uh who said I was using a pirated apk or stealing from the Android store? IN FACT (since you seem to know so much about me) I have no problem buying apps from the Play store when they are good deals or to support the little guys. If something is too expensive, I don’t buy it (or steal it.)

RampageDeluxe

You’re pathetic

JagoX

Nice rebuttal, thanks for playing 😛

rampagedeluxesucks

how the hell is he stealing? It’s perfectly fine to load a rom of a game you own so how do you know he doesn’t own the original NES cart? He already said he owns the PSP version so stop trying to play white $%@#$%@ knight. You people need to stop being so judgmental and trying to read between the lines of what everyone says because not everyone is a thief.

josue

You have to make the ROM yourself from your own original game to make that ROM legal.

Otto Dieffenbach

i concur. no need to beat on the guy there are MANY versions of this game out there.

archer

Also this was made for ios and is only a crappy port

Otto Dieffenbach

i own both the jap and eng cartridges, most RPG gamers can say they own at least one so roms aren’t stealing in my book. but i agree this should be supported big time!

EvanTheGamer

So….when will that $6.99 price tag turn into $.99 price tag? Within a few weeks perhaps?

rampagedeluxe

Since Square made it, probably never.

JagoX

Bingo

Adam

Any rumors a NEW Final Fantasy or RPG game for Android from Square? I’ve played all these games they’re constantly re-releasing either as one of the remakes or the original game.

johan

I’d pay for a good non-remake JRPG. I’m gonna pass on this game myself since I hardly play games twice. Same with movies. I just can’t enjoy them when I already know what’s going to happen.

kyle

I’d take gaming more seriously on smartphones when battery life improves significantly. Using my device as a phone AND a gaming device will surely kill the already not so great battery life.

Seriously, all these piracy protection stuff gets circumvented 100% of the time anyway. Meanwhile, I have to jump through hoops to just enjoy what I purchased.

Droidzilla

That’s the damnable irony of it all. I’ve pirated things I’ve purchased in the past just for convenience’s sake. It’s pretty ridiculous. I don’t endorse piracy, but I’ll do it if I’ve already paid for the item and the provider gimps the functionality.

Otto Dieffenbach

i had to look for a pirate offline patcher thingy for NBA jam i bought it refused to work with ICS, but it worked great on JB so no need to search the depths of the internet for most things now. but if it ever wont start when i am out of service then i’ll look into circumventing the check on a game i bought.

JoshGroff

FF3 has an optional file you can download that verifies the purchase or something.

BigRed4X15

I think that is only the initial time you open the game. I played the game for several hours on my flights between Orlando and Portland, and not once did it say i needed a WiFi connection.
